Many of you have have updated to iOS 12 beta from Apple which presented an incompatibility with our app. I am happy to let you know that version 1.0.3 of our App is now available in the app store fixes the "White" model bug. Please head off to the app store and download the update!

Our beta program has ended, so if you have a beta version installed, please go to the app store and install the shipping version. Thanks to all of the beta testers. You were a big help. Stay tuned for more updates. We have lots of new things coming!!

We are getting very close to shipping our Bellus3D FaceApp for iOS application.

FIRST - THANK YOU to all of our users who have been testing the app, giving us feedback and comments as we prepare to go to market.

At this stage we wanted to get YOUR input on how you think we should price our product. Our current plan is to allow users to download the app for free with some limitations that are only accessible with an In-App upgrade. With the free version you can scan as much as you want and save your scans as a video file on your camera roll to share with family and friends.

In-App upgrade: Many of you have requested that we offer the ability to export your 3D Face scan as a 3D file format. I am happy to announce that we will offer export in three different file formats:

.ZIP (Which will have .obj, .mtl and .jpg)

.STL

.GLB

So... how do we price?
This is where we need your input. We have seen how other high quality scanning apps are priced and they charge:

1) for every export
2) for a batch of exports, or
3) for unlimited exports for a period of time.

We want your opinion. Please let us know which of the three options you would like to see and how much you think is acceptable for your preferred option(s).

Our support for posting your 3D selfie to Facebook has been delayed. Unfortunately we had to delay this feature since Facebook still has not published their new Interface for 3D posts under their new privacy protocols. We are looking forward to including this feature as soon as Facebook makes it available.

We are excited to announce that we have started our public beta program!

We have had thousands and thousands of requests to become part of our testing program and we are very excited to have you test our app. To make this process more manageable, we are rolling out the enrollment in waves. The first invitations were just sent out via Apple TestFlight.

If you signed-up at our website and have not receive an invitation from Apple's TestFlight program - Don't Worry! You will get your invitation in the next wave that are being sent out.

Some General Notes:

1. You must have an iPhone X if you want to scan a face.

If you do not have an iPhone X, we are providing a sample file so you can see what the results are like if you had an iPhone X.

2. Our app only works on human faces, so if you try to scan your pet... it will not work!

Tips:

See the in-app video tutorial for tips on how to scan for best results.

Moving your head at a constant speed from side-to-side will deliver the best quality.

Try to have a soft light in front of you. A strong overly bright light on top or in back will reduce the scan quality.

Known Bugs & Issues

The "Export to Camera Roll" can crash if you interrupt the export. Its a known bug and we are fixing it.

Facebook posting will not work right now. Facebook has stopped approving new applications for the moment, so our app is currently pending approval from Facebook for posting in 3D. Stay tuned. We will let you know when its activated in a following rev.

So... Have fun. Scan your face. Scan your friend's face. Scan your friend's friends face. Move your VIRTUAL head completely around and see it from all angles. Zoom in and out. Turn on the Light Bulb and move it around. Turn off the photo effect to see the contours of your own face as it really is in 3D.
